I have a IBM-Lenovo Thinkpad T500. I was previously a exclusive windows user, but recently installed ubuntu and loving it because of speed and interface. The only thing is that I don't get some features that I came to enjoy in windows. I need help setting these up:

Hard-drive protection - active protection software that pauses drive when there is movement

My printer doesn't work (can't find the driver for this one): canon Ip2600

A way to change which graphics chip to use while in OS. I have both the integrated and non integrated (dual-graphics). (If not easy to setup, I know there's a way to do it before it boots, but don't know how).

Welcome to ask ubuntu! The system works best when you split up your questions into individual ones (which also helps you find duplicates) that way we can tackle each one seperately; can you edit your question and file new ones too? Thanks!

Some of these are really interesting questions, it would be really good if you could reask them in a split up form!
